So yes I said it DON"T DIET!!! Eat clean and move everyday. Greens, salads, lean meats, fish, nuts, fruits, juicing fruits and veggie, tons of water! Pop in a dvd, go to a class, walk, jog, skip, dance or run behind the kiddies. It's about a lifestyle, not a quick fix:)

Hi everyone!!I completely agree with you Jewstar1 I went to your blog and really enjoyed reading your tips and recipes. I created my blog http://modifiedmomma.com/ a month ago to encourage moms to fit exercise into their daily routines. I even have free Mommy and Me workouts posted under my workout tab. I would love to hear what you think of my blog and if you have any suggestions?

Love the blogs, ladies!! We just moved, and my last neighborhood had trendy, fit mommies everywhere. We're in a temp locale but will be moving to our permanent residence in June or July. I'd love to get in shape before moving to a new neighborhood. So I need to start now and make it a lifestyle.

Portion control is probably my biggest problem, though being too sedentary is a close second. I crave sugar like no other!! I have done sugar fasts, and that seems to curb the craving a little. Then I have a sweet or two and BAMMM! I am definitely a sugaraholic. Any ideas?

Have you ever tried the apple trick? You eat an apple before each meal, it helps to start to fill you up and helps to kick start your digestive system too. Have you tried to substitute healthier/more natural sugars that come from fruits and veggies? Sometimes cravings are your bodies way of saying "hey, I really need this." So you might not really be needing the sugar, but something associated with it.

I totally agree. I'm almost 50 now and since I was 43 I had to change my eating habits. I starting putting on the dreaded pounds. My hubby got me a gym membership and even though I never stepped a foot in a gym prior to that I fell in love. Still going strong at the gym 3 to 4 times a week. Constantly changes my eating lifestyle. Always adding new things and improving my meals. Its the only way. It taken a minute or so but I have lost weight. It wasn't easy but Its worth it. I don't think anything should be done in haste. I know people who spend hundreds of dollars on those miracle drinks because they don't want to take time to do it and gaining it all back.
